Project Update: Coping Cats pin samples are in! Check out the photos!
Hi everyone,
In very, very deep spite of how our country chooses to move, I’ve been pressing forward and not a little ironically, coping through working to keep this project progressing! I hope you’ve also been finding something to lean on for comfort or distraction.
In nicer news, I’ve already gotten samples of the pins from our manufacturer, and they look amazing! They did a great job on turning my artwork into these lovely little treasures. I can’t wait to wear “Time to Scream Now” and “Going Through It” to all the upcoming holiday gatherings with my conservative family-in-law (I love my wife but seriously…)
Thank you to everyone for getting almost 90% of the surveys in so quickly!
The surveys and Pre-Order Store will close on November 25th so that we can place production orders in time to help our amazing, helpful, and very patient sales rep and manufacturing partners in Hong Kong get an end of the season bonus.
Anyway, please scroll on to enjoy these photos of the pins, I hope you agree they’ve turned out beautifully!

Project Update: BackerKit Surveys coming soon!
Hi everyone!
We've been super busy and I'm happy to report that all of the final artwork for the pins is complete, proofs have been approved, and the deposit to start production of the pin samples has been sent to the manufacturer. This is officially the quickest things have ever moved, and I am stoked to see the process becoming better and more streamlined—hopefully we'll get to the fulfillment finish line that much faster.
The Pledge Manager and Pre-order Store setup will also be finished a little ahead of schedule, so you’ll receive an email from us early next week with a special link to your BackerKit survey!
It’s essential to respond to your survey as quickly as possible since we need this information to fulfill your rewards. Surveys will be open until Friday, November 22nd, at which point we'll tallying the final quantities for all the rewards and placing the orders with the manufacturers.

Project Update: WE DID IT! Thank you!!
I’m taking a brief breather but the team is already at work on setting up the surveys so you can all make your pick of the rewards as soon as possible. If you missed adding on the kitty loaf pins (or any other unlocks), don't worry—they will be available to add on to your survey in the Pledge Manager.
Thank you again. I sincerely cannot do it without you! 💖

Project Update: Less than a week to go!
We’ve got less than a week left on this campaign but we've already locked a ton of stretch goals and I’m hoping in that final push we’ll hit 40k and unlock that new set of 3 mini loaf pins! For those of you excited about the keychains, they will be available in the Pledge Manager.
I don’t know about you, but I have been doing a lot of coping the past few days. Despite being masked and vaccinated on the short trip I took with my wife, I caught COVID on the way home.
I appreciate all of your patience as I’ve been getting caught up on emails and other important things.

I’m taking care of my health as this campaign enters its final days, but I am preparing to get everything ready in the Pledge Manager so people can choose their rewards quickly and easily, and finalizing production art so that we can start production as soon as possible. In between all of that, I've been receiving the rewards to fulfill my previous campaign, including pin samples and washi tapes from some new suppliers. They've all turned out so beautifully and it's making me that much more excited to make all of the cat designs you've unlocked!
That’s all for now!
